 signed Mrs. Logan with her son and daugh
 ter and friends occupied seats in the privat gallery. The chaplain paid a graceful
 tribute to the deceased. MT. Cullom offered

 HoUsE.-The Speaker laid before the House Senate bill to encourage the manufacture of steel for modern naval ordnance and other naval purposes and to provide heavy ord nance adapted to modern naval warfare
 MT. Reed asked unanimous consent for the immediate consideration of the bill. Mir. Hol- man objected.
 Mir. Reed then asked that it be made a special order for Monday next, but Mir. Eden 1nterposed an objection. MT. Reed inquired to what committee the bill would be referred under the rules.
 The Speaker said to the committee on ap- populations
 After debate as to the question of reference Mir. Reed stated that his object was to have the bill referred to g committee which had the right to report it at any time, so if there a fQiIUra fn fha si might be fixed. He was satisfied to have it go to the appropriations
 The Speaker then presented the Senate bill providing for the manufacture of ord nance for naval purposes and making ap- propriations for coast defenses. The bill was referred to the committee on appropriations The Speaker said that if his ruling as to the committee to which both bills were referred should seem after argument to have been in- correct he would retract his ruling
 Consideration of the bill changing the mode of compensating United States attor- neys, marshals and commissioners was re- sumed. MT. Rogers. of Arkansas, made a bitter attack upon the measure, declaring that 1t was loosely and crudely prepared An acrimonious debate ensued between MT. Rogers and Mir. Gibson, who had reported this bill, in which many personalities were Nr. Rogers finally congratulated the gentleman's constituency upon having retired him.
 MT. Gibson retorted that if he had been politician and used ring methods or dema- gogue, he might have been re elected as the gentleman had been; that if the gentleman implied that single feature of the measure had been framed on account of his (Gibson's) brother being district attorney, that gen tleman falsely slandered him in the hall where he knew it could not be resented.
 MT. Rogers said the gentleman had dragged his brother into the discussion. The bill would show how well that brother had been taken care of. While the gentlemans brother earned $4 400 and was given $3, ,0OO by the bill, the attorney of his district, who earned $7,000, was cut to $4,000.
 The morning hour expired without action.
 An unsuccessful attempt to call up the let ter carrier eig t-hour bill was made and the House went into committee on the consular bill. MT. Lore, of Delaware, thought the bill huge joke. The Secretary of State showed by 8 late communication that he de- sired no changes. It was evident that the State department was not in favor of making additions to the salaries of con .uls.
 The committee rose without action.

Ad- 1resses of an eloquent and eulogistic charac- CT were made by Messrs Caswell and Thomas 'f Wisconsin, Hudd, Henderson and Peter oone of Iowa and Breckenridge of Kentucky md at 4:50 further mark of respect to he deceased the House adjourned.
